Children may be obedient, dutiful and loyal to their parents, but there comes a time in the child s life when the parent s interference in his rights and interests willimeet with opposition, and if persist- ed on with positive resistance, and every right thinking person acknowledges that the child is justied in such a defence of his rights. The application of this prin- ciple to the colonies is plain and unmis- _ takeable. THE OWNER OF THE GORE!) OX. The shery question has exhibited to the world the peculiar way in which Bro. Jonathan is made. The Connecticut mouse trap peddler and the manufacturer of basswood hams could not be smaller or more tricky than those who have been engaged in this shery matter both in and out of congress. In the face of treaty stipulations, international-law and simple justice the New England fisher-` men claim the right to steal our sh and because we take means to prevent it they T threaten war and inaugurate a system of unfriendly legislation against our trading "in their ports. we "seize one of their vessels for doing a clearly unlawful act. They blustery and fume and threaten and say they will sh close to our shores and do as they please and Britain dare not prevent them. A Spanish vessel sh- ing off the Florida coast is seized and conscated on the ground that she is within twelve miles of the coast which is held by all nations to be the ocean high- way andoutside of the jurisdiction of any country. On _the coast of Alaska the Yankees claim their shing rights extend fteen or twenty miles from the shore and they threaten to seize any vessels found shing within that distance. Noth- ing morevclearly shows the inconsistency and untenableness of these contentions. So far as our own sheries are concerned it is the duty of the Dominion Govern- ment to defend them from the threatened piracy at all hazards and to resist every attempt on the part of the Imperial Gov- ernment to yield. to the claims of the Yankee sh stealera.

Last session Mr. Cook was one of the loudest talkers about timber limits and grazing lauds being applied for in the usual business way by some members of parliament for their constituents as though it was one of the greatest political sins. Yet Henry Herman received 200 miles of timber. limits-wherever he pleased to take them, only a few days before Mr. Mills was driven from oice. This is a beauti- ful example of the way the average Grit` politician is made. , The East Simcoe elector will be greatly proted by the study of Henry Herman s_ practice as compared with his professions.

One had been com- pleted and another was being commenced. Around the house the crowd seemed very ,much interested with something that was in progress, and even the attention of the police seemed to be a little shaken up, an incident novel at, evictions, and really touching in its character. In the centre of the crowd were the V sheriff (Mr. W. Hartnett) ; Mr. James `Jones, before mentioned, and an old gentleman. The last named was Just saying, in an. Ameri- can accent, 1 ve just seen one eviction and I won't see the second if I can pre- vent it. Then negotiations were pro- ceeded with. Mr. Jones said that he would allow the tenant to remain in if he paid the sum of 3 10s. The money in A gold was at once produced by the strange r and tendered to the sheriff Mr. J ones` evidently considered he had met a wind- fall. But, said he, there are costs. How much ? "3 more, "said Mr. Jones, and to the evident surprise of that gentleman, the sheriff was again handed over three sovereigns. Now, said the sheriff, we are clearly to understand that this is in full for the amount of this decree and costs It would be scarcely fair to surmise what Mr. Jones saw the prospect of ; but, however, he said that he could only take the money on account, as there` may be some more. Thesheriff at once remonstrated, and said_ everyone under- stood that the 6 10s. satised all, while `the strsn er s irritation at once evinced itself, an he refused to be imposed upon," as he called it. We afterwards learned that the old gentleman acted on the advice of some people who were present, took back the money from the sheriff and transferred it to the tenant's wife to allow herto exercise her discretion in the matter. We found that he was an American tourist who was remaining at the Castle Hate , Ballybunion-Mr. G. Sheehy, 167 Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, and is an oflicial of the Great Wabash, St. Louis & Pacic Railway.

The gatherings of church bodies at this season. of the `year are looked upon with great interest by all classes of people and the importance of them may be_gathered from the prominence given by the press to the utterances of these representative assemblies. It is just possible that some of the speakers may occasionally step a little outside the legitimate work of the body of which they are members but as a rule the `discussions -in these gatherings of the clerical and lay . elements of our churches exercise an important inuence in moulding public sentiment. How far it is right that these ecclesiastical assemblies should go in expressing political opinions is perhaps an open question. Occasionally we notice a disposition to a little more imperiousness than is compitable with men who are supposed to be sustained by a system of yoluntary contributions. The London, conference of the Methodist church the other day advocated a minium salary of $600 and a parsonage for its ministers. This is, it is true, small enough for any man who is worth anything at all, but the proceeding seems somewhat singu- lar when viewed in the light of apostolic practice. Besides, it looks very much like the assumption of the right to tax, ir- stead of depending upon voluntary offer- lugs for support. Switzer - Gallagher - Ordered, that whereas this Council granted in 1882 the sum of $150, and in the year 1883 $100, to build a bridge over Mad River near Glencairn on the deviation line between Sunnidale and Tossorontio, and whereas your Treasurer refuses to pay said amount theommittee on Roads and Bridges be instructed to investigate the same and report at this session. _ .

We notice too that while the class`meet- ing is justly upheld as one of the most valuable spiritual factors of the church, nobody speaks in these conferences against the general wire-pulling and scrambling after the best paying circuits which has become so common.

This Dominion is also cooly told she had better surrender her rights to unjust demands. Such a policy as this will necessarily weaken the connection between Britain and the colonies, and instead of bringing them closeritogether in our great con- federacy will tend to cut them asunder and direct the people into considering the means of securing their independent national life.
